slow to post this but according to mercs chat the calculus we are dealing with is

dk > squall > kiryu > dk

we're stuck in a time loop my friends, my head hurts

I can only speak for myself here, but the reason I hold that stance is that Kiryu mostly punches above his weight class by severely martially outskilling his opponents. He's not the actual strongest or toughest yakuza in his universe, but he's the most flexible and brilliant fighter. The issue is that I feel Squall severely outskills him. Kiryu has survived shit like getting shot at by a minigun, but Squall survived his archenemy putting him in a timestop and surrounding him with magical projectiles from every single direction and still escaped unscathed. Kiryu can't meaningfully blindside him if Ultimecia failed to do it with something so unbelievably abusive and broken. Instead the way to beat Squall is to overpower him, and DK is better at that than Kiryu is.
